The verdict at a glance

- Seats four
- Steam-capable high heat
Trade-offs
- Requires a dedicated 240V circuit
- Some specs are typical-for-size estimates
- Outdoor installation
Our review
The Pinnacle is Almost Heaven's more compact classic barrel, seating four and listed around $5,302 (from $7,575). It offers the same traditional, steam-capable high heat as the Grandview in a smaller, cheaper package — a sensible pick for a backyard where six-person capacity is unnecessary.
Like all traditional electric saunas of this size it needs a dedicated 240V circuit. Almost Heaven does not publish full per-SKU specs, so heater wattage and temperatures here are typical-for-size estimates. For an authentic barrel sauna at the lower end of the traditional range, it is a strong value.
